My verson the famous fictional non-humanoid alien, the Pierson Puppeteer:

I feel like I'm getting better and more competent...

Very nice. I see you remembered the hair over the brain-lump. Other drawings I've seen of these critters forget that detail.

Looks good. I've wanted to see a good picture of them since I first read Ringworld a couple of decades ago.

Thanks for the compliments.

See if you can dig up an old copy of "Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials", by artist Wayne Douglas Barlowe (http://www.waynebarlowe.com).

If you go to http://www.sloan3d.com/covers/ and scroll to the bottom, you can click on some scans of Barlowe's puppeteer artwork. Also of Trek interest there is the picture of the Thrint (better known to TAS as "the Slavers").
